CHONGQING, China, December 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Daqo New Energy Corp. (NYSE: DQ) ("Daqo New Energy" or the "Company"), a leading polysilicon manufacturer based in China, today announced that the ratio for its ordinary shares to American Depositary Shares (the "ADS") will change from one (1) ADS representing five (5) ordinary shares to one (1) ADS representing twenty five (25) ordinary shares (the "Ratio Change"). The effective date is expected to be on December 21, 2012.
Pursuant to the Ratio Change, the record holders of the Company's ADS as of the effective date will be entitled to receive one (1) new ADS, each representing twenty five (25) ordinary shares, in exchange for every five (5) ADSs held by them.
